Pretty neat that we can see things like this in Miiverse…
Update: Been meaning to bump this to the front page for awhile. Now that the Wii U is out in Europe, there’s no better time to do so! Also – you can add your Nintendo Network ID (and 3DS Friend Code) to your profile. New members can input this information at registration.
My Nintendo Network ID is ValayNE. What’s yours? I (and others) would love to know!
I’ve set up a handy topic on our forum right here where NE visitors can exchange IDs with each other. Joining is incredibly easy. So why not sign up and add some friends?!
P.S. – I’d be more inclined to add those of you who let me know about their intentions of registering my ID. That way I’ll have a better idea about things. Again, this is where the forum comes in handy! Or send me an email. Or something. Please!

We’ll be adding these charts to our regular rotation of charts (alongside the 3DS one!).
Amid all of the Wii U hype, you may have forgotten that the white 3DS XL launched in Europe today. View some photos of the snazzy system below.
As is the case with the 3DS, Wii U demos have play limits.
FIFA 13, the first game to ever receive a demo on the Wii U store, can only be accessed ten times. Once this limit has been reached, the trial won’t launch.
Play locks will likely vary between demos. On the 3DS, we’ve seen downloads that maintain a limit as few as five and as high as thirty. There’s even been one instance in which unlimited plays have been offered.
EA’s FIFA 13 demo is only available on the European eShop at the moment. A Rayman Legends demo should be on the way to the North American and European Wii U stores in the near future.
Following the release of Mighty Switch Force! on the 3DS eShop, WayForward created a free update that brought along five new levels and other small changes. Could something similar happen with its console brother, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Edition?
When asked about the possibility, Voldi Way said:
“You know it’s hard to say just yet. I mean we don’t have any plans, I should say that. Then again, we didn’t have any plans to add new levels for the first one. If it does well and people like it then yeah we’ll keep adding stuff.”
And WayForward level designer Chris Schroder added:
“We can keep on adding levels if you guys want.”
